Boyer-Bryan West Tower has opened at Williamson Medical Center in Franklin, Tennessee. The expansion, part of a $200-million project, added three floors to the original West Tower footprint, plus a new north wing that encompasses all six floors. Nearly 175,000 new square feet and 134 new patient beds have been added to the medical center.
The tower features a 35-bed ICU for critical care needs, 94 medical-surgical inpatient rooms, 33 obstetrics rooms, 10 pediatric inpatient rooms and more. The Cardiac Center has also been expanded and updated to include two cardiac catheterization labs and a new electrophysiology lab. Other project components include an expanded and renovated emergency department increasing from 28 to 43 beds, as well as a third C-section operating room and new neonatal intensive care unit with nine private bays.
The design reflects the charm of downtown Franklin, creating a sense of continuity with the local architectural style and community aesthetic. Design elements include brick façades, large windows and a viewing balcony. The final phase of the $200-million project, which includes renovations to the main lobby and patient floors in the original tower, is expected to continue into 2025. The project team includes ESa and JE Dunn.
